description This study developed a hybrid metal composite of a 3D-printed 316 L stainless steel BCC lattice with magnesium alloy AZ91D by infiltration gravity stir casting technique. To enhance infiltration, the lattice was preheated to maintain furnace temperature, facilitating effective filling of the voids by the molten AZ91D alloy. Compression tests were conducted to evaluate the composite’s mechanical characteristics, energy absorption, and fracture morphology. In addition, the finding was compared with those of as-cast pure Mg and AZ91D alloys. The result shows that the energy absorption of AZ91D with 316 L stainless steel increases up to 160% more than as-cast pure Mg and up to 22% more than AZ91D, with the maximum energy absorption achieved at 17.02 J. The microstructural characteristics showed contact between AZ91D and the 316 L stainless steel lattice with some voids. The fracture morphology of the composite indicated shear bands and secondary cracks. The results show that magnesium hybrid metal composite is an innovative lightweight material with potential applications in aerospace, marine, and automotive fields based on enhancing mechanical properties.
